The ruins are nothing but go for the walk. It is incredible with paths all around the ocean. We saw blue and yellow fish right from the pathway. Well worth the 30 pecos to see it. More

Sculpture garden surrounding the ruin is nice. Ruin itself is very cool although to see it prior to the hurricane that took most of it would have been something. The real draw here is the trails in the cliffs surrounding the park..........very scenic, beautiful and awesome. More

Although the ruins are not visually exciting, the energy is powerful especially with the crashing waves below. The park is lovely, with many interesting sculptures. There are nice places to just relax and take in the views & the salt air. More
